Wow. I was actually trying to get pricing on a MATLAB Home license and couldn't get signed in or initiate the webform to Sales. I sent an email to their info@ account and heard they were having some problems with their online systems.

Very interesting collection and I learned a lot of history and norms that I didn't know. Thank you for this! Bookmarked.

I could have made contributions in line with the support and advantages I have been given.

Matlab fan here. I've been very impressed with how the product has grown over the years. Its documentation is especially superb. I've been able to get great overviews of signal processing, physical simulation, and many other to

Putting that spade in the ground will trip the mines, though. Didn't Elon threaten to primary anyone who doesn't salute?

Agreed. They followed this cohort for decades and this was the conclusion? It reads like an update from the pitch drop experiment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_drop_experiment

Well then, we are in for a very deterministic, not-at-all-chaotic future. "Ve vill haff order!"

Of course, "Further research is required." ;-) More telling, "This study utilized a unique longitudinal dataset drawn from a sample of 235 men who were originally recruited as Harvard University students between 1939 and 194

Pretty bad, overall. I got diddlysquat out of LinkedIn when I was job hunting 10+ years ago but then I got nothing out of my other leads, either. I was old back then and older now so I am staying at my employer until I'm fired, retir

Well said. I tried and bailed on LinkedIn about ten years ago because so much was forced happy-talk like this article. I think this author is writing earnestly but there is a load of pressure on everyone to think and speak this way even t

I read the tips and thought, "Well, good for him I guess?" It is easy for very successful people to write homilies like this but what worked for them may not/will not work for most. This guy clearly has a few more brain cel

Yes, that's my point. The objective is to overwhelm the society and its institutions - a disease that stresses the host's immune response until it breaks. The lower courts will stand by since the ultimate court is in the bag for

The tech owners seem to have gone the other way with their votes (few) and money (big).

You're right... I can't find it by scrolling. I thought this site was all algorithmically ranked? Are there people throttling material critical of SV and/or other topics? By the by, is it possible to see where a post is (or

Not seeing it happening. The base thrives on this. e.g. disabled reporter got mocked, no consequences.

I think that's generally true but I've noticed that there are a couple of people in every cohort who have the right stuff. They're good and everyone knows it, including themselves. Glad this post was revived after being dead

I couldn't read the whole article due to the paywall. I wonder (now that my knee has stopped jerking) whether they consider non-tenure-ladder professorial positions at universities as 'academia'. e.g. adjuncts, lecturers, s

Sample of one: No regrets. It was a tough regimen and I got filtered out of academia. But, I grew immensely throughout the path and got to be around some exceptional minds. I shoulda/coulda have worked harder and been more daring.

I would have expected a higher percentage. Few openings and a high bar for whatever there is. It was tough to get an assistant professor job 30 years ago and I can't imagine what it must be like now.

Good on him. Won't be a drop compared to what's coming.

It got installed on a recent OS update and I don't see any use for it. I'd much rather have the calculator do scientific notation properly than any of this frippery.
